Hey y’all. Quick shout out to A.C., who generously took the Weekender responsibilities last week as I was suffocating in an academic pool of caffeine, sadness and sleep deprivation. Thanks, dude. It’s good to back this week though. I’m feeling fresh. Is everyone feeling fresh this week? Ready for some weekend tips? Let’s do it. […]

Hello everyone and welcome to the Weekender. I’m filling in for Steve this week as he prepares himself for the summer. I’m still preparing for the summer as well, but I have a little more time on my hands. Why that is? I’ll never tell. Anyway, enough stalling. Let’s get into this. THURSDAY VO Marley […]

Iowa City Weekender: May 3-5
Bienvenidos, everyone. This weekend’s holiday is a little silly as it is basically a Mexican holiday that doesn’t really exist in Mexico. I think I’m okay with Cinco de Mayo though, as an American day of celebrating Mexican culture. Either way, it’ll likely serve as a reminder of why I stay away from tequila. It’s […]

Iowa City Weekender: April 5-7
Welcome back to another edition of the Iowa City Weekender. I decided to go ahead and skip last week because let’s be honest, there’s not much I could have written about on Mission Creek weekend that hadn’t already been blasted at y’all in some form. I hope everyone got to enjoy at least a little […]

Iowa City Weekender: March 22-25
Mission Creek is next week, but you will see that this weekend is no calm before the storm. As per usual we have events that are uniquely “Iowa City,” with some super powerful national/international acts throughout.
